    Well of course for any of Hagge's beliefs to come to fruition Lieberman will have to repent or perish! How intelligent does that make Lieberman?

    Lieberman is little more than Tel Aviv's representative from Connecticut. He hardly represents the interests of America. Israel is not the 51st State nor a U.S. Commonwealth. This cretin neocon is responsible, along with his neocon cohorts for massive damage to this country and her reputation.

        And Liebernuts is just a little crazier than McInsane.

        What a pair they'd make in the White House! A Neocon dream come true and a nightmare for the rest of the free world.

      If the Democrats had enough Senators to hold the Senate , and not need Liebermans vote they would shun him like the plague. But they do need him so they have to grin, and bear it.

        Lieberman is not a Democrat. He's an Independent that presently is voting for the Democrat candidate for senate majority leader. If you jog your memory a little, you would remember that he lost the Democrat primary for senator but won the seat back as an Independent.

        He holds the same beliefs as Dick Cheney on foreign policy. That is why he is scorned. I have said it before, it isn't so much that the neocons were wrong in trying to secure that Iraqi oil, it is the way they went about it. Lying to and deceiving the American public. They are simply not honest men. At least Gore would not have given Lieberman the leeway Bush gave Cheney. Iraq was a mistake, nothing they can pull out of the hat will change that. When we leave we will truly see what we have wrought. Likely that we will once again have armed a potential future foe. It won't be the first time. Things will change 180 in Iraq when we leave. A strongman (Maliki? doubtful) will again emerge. And we will be left with the quandary of whether we should go back in.

        And why does Lieberman consistently put the interests of Israel ahead of our own nation? Who exactly does he represent?

            Lieberman is a man of integrity. That is something that is not seen in a lot of politicians especially Democrats lately. Of course since he has a disagreement with the Liberals over one issue they treat him like dirt. This is part of the hypocrisy in the Democratic party these days. Both parties have had in past a tolerance for disagreement over a few ideas and still welcome the person because they hold to the rest. It is sad that the Democrats have come to this.
            Hagee has written on Revelation several times. That is where all the criticism comes from. I defy anyone to accurately tell what Danial, Revelation, and other pertinent prophesies say in plain English. Eschatology is a very difficult concept and there are warnings that it is to be is hidden.

            Just about any candidate that supports Israel, gets my vote. If Lieberman were running for President, I'd certainly vote for him over what we have running for Prez now. Too bad Lieberman sounds like he's crying all the time, though.

              Hagee is a participant in the Christian Zionist lobby. Their agenda is to bring about the second coming of christ so they can go to heaven. This won't happen (according to legend) unless Israel takes possession of the Holy land, so they lobby on Israel's behalf to give them protection. Lieberman is Jewish. He worries about the state of Israel, which is understandable. However, he has sold his soul to the crazy christian right to protect Israel's interests. He has allowed 'church' to replace his responsibility to the US Constitution, and he should step down. The christian zionists do not want the Palestinians to have their own place in the Holy land. It would mess up their fairy tale that would get them in 'heaven.' This fiasco is in the worst interest of the US, & of the Israeli people.

                Good answer, Jordan, but the Dispensationalists, like Hagee, believe that Christ won't come back until the Jews are practicing sacrifices again at the spot of the holy of holies, which currently rests at the Muslim controlled Dome of the Rock, also one of their holy places. Then, he believes the church will be raptured and two witnesses sent to Israel to win all of them to Jesus Christ. Lieberman really doesn't understand that Hagee is not his "Jewish" friend. He wants and believes Lieberman will actually become a Christian, or burn in hell if he doesn't. So, although you are absolutely correct in your assertions, I just wanted to take it a little further for you to show you the extent of Hagee's plans. All devout Jews should be leery of this Christian fundamentalist named Hagee, not just John McCain. Hagee will do anything to see that his idea of the kingdom comes about. Beware of the wolf in sheep's clothing.

                Thank you for explaining it further, ML2007. The reason there is no sign of peace in that region is that the christian zionists do NOT want Israel to give up that Holy place. When I think of what they've done, and the lives that have been destroyed there, it makes me sick. It's my understanding that many Israeli's don't like what's happening either, including with their Zionists. They want peace, but it's not going to happen with the power these very crazy people have grabbed.

                    Maybe Lieberman has been won to Christianity by Hagee. After all, Hagee's Dispensational view of Eschatology holds the two witnesses at the end times, Moses and Elijah, will be resurrected to personally witness to Israel, which will be practicing sacrifices at the Temple which will be located where the Muslim Dome of the Rock is currently located. These two witnesses will bring miracles to the Earth again and baptize 144000 witnesses who will evangelize all of Israel. The two witnesses will be killed in the streets of Jerusalem and resurrected and caught up in heaven for all to see. Get your cameras ready. So, maybe Lieberman thinks Hagee is really the first resurrection of Moses and is really just buying insurance. Lieberman, it sounds to me like, is more Israelite than American, so maybe he playing both ends to meet the middle. Go figure.

                            My crystal ball (now, no vulgar comments, please!) reveals that Sen. L. will jump the Democratic ship post the 2008 election.

                            As for the Hagee comment: balderdash! (You can see a certain image consistency in this post....)

                              I am of the opinion that the pastors of the two hopefuls for presidency take or have taken to much influence on the campaign. While in Germany it is not even of great interest, if the chancelor is a catholic or a protestant or a confessing christian at all, the evangelical groups in America seem to be vowed with enormous efforts and the utterances of a TV-preacher can be of more importance as those of the candidate himself. I see the different traditions in the relation between church and politics in the US and Europe. We Europeans should learn to talk more freely about our religious convincements and accept that, even if you are a politician, they are not to separate from the rest of the personality, but an essential part of it. Nevertheless, it is not the pastor or the church, America votes for, but the next president!

                                Hagee is not McCains pastor. It has not been made public knowledge who he is. Obama brought Wright into it because he proudly called his pastor his mentor. Then people looked and were disgusted.

                                Lieberman should be honest with the people of Connecticut and the rest of the country. He is no longer a democrat and he certainly is not an independent. For all intents and purposes, he is a republican and should come out of the closet and be honest with himself and everyone else.

                                  Your ignorance over Lieberman's voting record in the Senate is overwhelming. He votes Democrat on almost all issues. Since he disagrees with the Democrat view of the war you and others want to label him a Republican. Is that what the Democrat party has come to? A single issue party? Keep it up and that will be the parties end. Time for a new one. We are winning and the Democrats just get shriller about ending the war. What a party to have to insist on losing it.
